What did you do in the garden today?

[Nym]

Picked tomatoes today and canned some stewed tomatoes. The rain we had was just enough of a slow steady rain that everything is growing again. We are going to be in the 40's this week! We need summer for a while longer - stay away fall!

We are still getting snow here in Australia so your chances could be good!

After years of patchy seasons and pandemic shutdowns, Victorian ski resorts and High Country businesses are celebrating a bumper snow season that has delivered a boost in visitors.

Falls Creek has been blanketed in more than 3 metres of natural snow across the season, with the most recent storm dropping 71 centimetres in a single hit.

The onions not so much but apparently onions aren’t good companions for the others.

Well, now I'm not so sure about that. I grew a patch of yellow onions and shallots in the same bed, with the rows of onions growing between the rows of shallots. The rows were about 6 inches apart and they all did great together.

Right now I would happily take your snow

I think I just found a really cool bean hybrid while shelling the rest of my beans. It came out of what should have been a cranberry bean pod and has the right shape for one but the colors are a lot like that of a scarlet beauty

I'm nowhere near it thankfully .. the icy air from it is enough for me.

This is what the pods look like in the same order

I did more garden cleanup today. I don't know if the number of buckets of weeds I pulled says, "Sally worked hard today!" or, "Sally has not been keeping up with the garden work!"

Right now I’m up to my eyeballs in peaches.

Just how high are your eye balls?

I don't even think of the fact Australia gets snow! How cool. Always think of deserts for some reason .
